Wang Zuxian, the 58-year-old Hong Kong actress who rose to fame across Asia for her role as “Xiao Qian” in the classic film A Chinese Ghost Story, has recently attracted the public in a whole new way. Now living in Vancouver, Canada, she has opened a moxibustion (艾灸) clinic that brings Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to an international audience. Since its opening this February, the clinic — offering acupuncture, cupping, and other traditional therapies — has attracted fans from near and far. Many come not only to experience TCM treatments but also to catch a glimpse of the timeless star behind the scenes.
Recently, TV host Christopher Downs (Xia Keli) visited the clinic and shared a video online, showing Wang personally examining him and arranging a full treatment session. Wearing a simple blue T-shirt, a green apron(围裙), and a mask that couldn’t hide her gentle eyes and professional manner, she carefully went through Downs’ health report. Her tone was calm and friendly, as if talking to an old friend. She then personally performed cupping and acupuncture. What moved him most was that Wang even remembered his TV shows in Taiwan. Their warm conversation erased any distance between celebrity and fan. “She has no airs at all,” Downs marveled. “She’s still that elegant Xiao Qian I remember.”
Though TCM is not mainstream in Western countries, Wang’s clinic has become a cultural bridge. In addition to providing acupuncture and cupping, she gives personalized health advice and shares wellness knowledge rooted in Chinese tradition. Appointments have been fully booked months in advance. Her clients include not only Chinese fans but also many local Canadians curious about TCM. Downs revealed that Wang studied TCM and obtained professional certification before opening the clinic. Netizens commented enthusiastically: “This isn’t a celebrity comeback — it’s cultural heritage in action.” Some hope she will expand her clinic to other countries, allowing TCM to reach more people; others express admiration, saying: “This is true cultural confidence — using her influence to let the world see Chinese wisdom.”

C
Artificial intelligence can take down more than routine emails. It has now written tiny working genomes (基因组). Researchers report in a paper posted to bioRxiv.org., two AI models designed the blueprints for 16 viruses capable of attacking Escherichia coli (大肠杆菌) in lab dishes.
Given that AI models have already been used to design individual genes and proteins, Brian Hie, a computational biologist at Stanford University and the Arc Institute in Palo Alto, Calif. turned to their own AI models, called Evo 1 and Evo 2, to see if they could create genomes for bacteria-killing viruses. The models were trained on billions of pairs of the genetic alphabet’s basic units, A, C, G and T’s, from phage genomes the way ChatGPT was trained on novels and Internet posts. The team used a phage (噬菌体) called ΦX174—which in 1977 became the first DNA-based genome ever sequenced—as a guide to help the AI design a similar genome.
Evo 1 and Evo 2 generated roughly 300 potential phage genomes. Of those, 16 produced viable viruses. Some of the phages even killed E. coli more quickly than ΦX174 did. And although ΦX174 couldn’t kill phage-resistant E. coli on its own, mixture of AI-generated phages rapidly evolved to overcome the bacteria’s resistance to infection. The findings suggest that AI could help researchers develop viruses to use in phage therapy, a potential option to treat microbial (微生物的) infections.
Scientists are still debating whether viruses are alive or not. “While there’s a lot of work to go, using AI to design living organisms is a step forward”, says Kimberly Davis, a microbiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who wasn’t involved in the work. “It is very likely to be used in the microbial manufacturing processes such as cultivating microbes that degrade plastic.”
8. What can be inferred about Evo 1 and Evo 2 in paragraph 2?
A. They designed desirable genomes.
B. They created DNA-based genomes.
C. They guided ΦX174 to design phage genomes.
D. They shared the same training method as ChatGPT.
9. What does the underlined word “viable” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Workable. B. Infectious. C. Deadly D. inferior.
10. What does Kimberly Davis’s words suggest?
A. Potential application of the findings. B. Need to involve more researches.
C. Methods of designing organisms. D. Possible direction for further study.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Escherichia coli: phage-resistant bacteria.
B. AI-generated genome: a tiny bacteria killer.
C. AI-designed phages: a DNA-based genome.
D. Evo 1 and Evo 2: phage genome generators.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了研究人员利用名为Evo 1和Evo 2的人工智能模型设计出了能够攻击大肠杆菌的噬菌体基因组,这些基因组产生的病毒有的甚至比已知的噬菌体更有效,文章还探讨了这一发现的应用潜力。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The models were trained on billions of pairs of the genetic alphabet’s basic units, A, C, G and T’s, from phage genomes the way ChatGPT was trained on novels and Internet posts.(这些模型接受了来自噬菌体基因组的数十亿对遗传字母基本单位A、C、G和T的训练,就像ChatGPT接受小说和互联网帖子训练一样。)”可知,Evo 1和Evo 2与ChatGPT的训练方法相同,都是通过分析大量的数据来进行训练的。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Of those, 16 produced viable viruses. Some of the phages even killed E. coli more quickly than ΦX174 did.(其中,16个产生了viable病毒。其中一些噬菌体甚至比ΦX174更快地杀死大肠杆菌。)”可知,这些由人工智能生成的噬菌体基因组产生了能够实际起作用、能够杀死大肠杆菌的病毒,由此可推测出viable意为“可行的,起作用的”,与Workable意思相近。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While there’s a lot of work to go, using AI to design living organisms is a step forward.(虽然还有很多工作要做,但使用人工智能来设计生物体是向前迈出的一步。)”和“It is very likely to be used in the microbial manufacturing processes such as cultivating microbes that degrade plastic.(它很可能被用于微生物制造过程,例如培养降解塑料的微生物。)”可知,Kimberly Davis认为虽然还有很多工作要做,但使用人工智能设计生物体是向前迈出的一步,这一发现很可能会被用于微生物制造过程,比如培养降解塑料的微生物,由此可推测出Kimberly Davis的话暗示了这一发现的潜在应用。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Artificial intelligence can take down more than routine emails. It has now written tiny working genomes (基因组). Researchers report in a paper posted to bioRxiv.org., two AI models designed the blueprints for 16 viruses capable of attacking Escherichia coli (大肠杆菌) in lab dishes.(人工智能能处理的不仅仅是日常电子邮件。它现在已经编写出了微小的工作基因组。研究人员在bioRxiv.org上发布的一篇论文中报告称,两个人工智能模型设计了16种能够在实验室培养皿中攻击大肠杆菌的病毒蓝图。)”可知,本文主要介绍了研究人员利用名为Evo 1和Evo 2的人工智能模型设计出了能够攻击大肠杆菌的噬菌体基因组,这些基因组产生的病毒有的甚至比已知的噬菌体更有效,B项(人工智能生成的基因组:一种微小的细菌杀手。)概括了文章的主要内容,适合作为文章标题。故选B。
D
What if your friends are going through life-or-death situations in the family? Social exchange theory would suggest that you’d better drop them because they’re not providing as many benefits to you as they could. Different from the exchange-based relationship, real-life experiences with these situations might be the opposite: These are the times when many people are most likely to support their friends.
A recent research backs this up. “When surveyed about what they want in a friend, people didn’t place a high value on paying back any debts — something highly valued from a social exchange perspective”. “Instead, they considered other traits — such as loyalty, reliability and being there in times of need — to be much more important”, Charlie Kirk, leader of the investigation added. The essence of friendship may be what is called risk-pooling where our ancient ancestors support each other to survive life challenges.
According to the survey by The Human Generosity Project, a cross-disciplinary research collaboration, this kind of friendship can still be found across societies, from “kere kere” in Fiji to “tomor marang” among the Ik in Uganda. Similarly, the Maasai, a native group in Kenya and Tanzania who rely on cattle herds to make their living, cultivate friends who help them when they are in need, with no expectation about paying each other back. Just like the “neighboring” network rooted in southern Arizona and New Mexico, farmers help their neighbors with unpredictable challenges such as an accident, injury or illness.
“What all these findings suggest is that friendship is less about the exchange of favors and more about being there for each other when unforeseeable disaster strikes. Friendship seems more like an insurance plan designed to kick in when you need it most rather than a system of balanced exchange”, says Charlie.
In a world of growing uncertainty, cultivating risk-pooling friendships and striving to be a good partner yourself may help you build resilience. Our ancestors survived with the help of this kind of relationship; our future may depend on them too.
12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By defining a concept. B. By making a comparison.
C. By analyzing reasons. D. By giving examples.
13. Which may be valued according to social exchange theory?
A. A good grasp of maths. B. A timely period of company.
C. Balanced cost and benefit. D. Distinguished survival skills.
14. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The cases of risk-pooling friendship. B. The reasons for risk-pooling friendship.
C. The mechanism of exchange-based friendship. D. The possible logic of exchange-based relationship.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward Charlie Kirk’s research findings?
A. Dismissive. B. Approving. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出社会交换理论与现实友谊相悖,研究表明友谊核心是风险共担而非利益交换,且这种友谊普遍存在,对当下和未来都很重要。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“What if your friends are going through life-or-death situations in the family? Social exchange theory would suggest that you’d better drop them because they’re not providing as many benefits to you as they could. Different from the exchange-based relationship, real-life experiences with these situations might be the opposite: These are the times when many people are most likely to support their friends.(倘若你的朋友正身处家庭中的生死攸关的困境之中,那么社会交换理论会指出,你最好放弃与他们保持联系,因为他们给你的益处远远没有达到应有的水平。与基于交换的关系不同,与这类情况的实际接触可能会呈现出相反的情况:在这些关键时刻,许多人最有可能支持自己的朋友)”可知,作者在第一段通过比较提出这个问题。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“What if your friends are going through life-or-death situations in the family? Social exchange theory would suggest that you’d better drop them because they’re not providing as many benefits to you as they could.(如果你的朋友正遭遇家庭中的生死危机,社会交换理论会建议你疏远他们,因为他们无法再为你提供以往那样多的益处)”可知,根据社会交换理论,成本与收益的平衡可以被评估。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“According to the survey by The Human Generosity Project, a cross-disciplinary research collaboration, this kind of friendship can still be found across societies, from “kere kere” in Fiji to “tomor marang” among the Ik in Uganda. Similarly, the Maasai, a native group in Kenya and Tanzania who rely on cattle herds to make their living, cultivate friends who help them when they are in need, with no expectation about paying each other back. Just like the “neighboring” network rooted in southern Arizona and New Mexico, farmers help their neighbors with unpredictable challenges such as an accident, injury or illness.(根据“人类慷慨度项目”(一项跨学科研究合作项目)的调查,这种友谊在不同社会中依然存在,从斐济的“克雷克雷”到乌干达伊克人的“托莫尔马朗”都属于此类。同样,肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚的马赛族人依靠牛群为生,他们也会结交能在自己需要时提供帮助的朋友,而且彼此之间并不期望回报。就像扎根于亚利桑那州南部和新墨西哥州的“邻里”网络一样,农民们会在面对诸如意外、受伤或疾病等不可预测的挑战时帮助他们的邻居)”可知,第三段主要讲了风险共担型友谊案例。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In a world of growing uncertainty, cultivating risk-pooling friendships and striving to be a good partner yourself may help you build resilience. Our ancestors survived with the help of this kind of relationship; our future may depend on them too.(在这样一个充满不确定性的世界里,培养能够共担风险的友谊,并努力成为一位优秀的伴侣,或许能帮助你增强适应能力。我们的先辈正是依靠这种关系才得以生存下来;而我们的未来或许也取决于这种关系)”可知,作者对查理·柯克的研究成果持赞成态度。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下列文章,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When we fall behind others or perform less well in areas we care about, a feeling of envy arises. Envy has always been a part of human experience.
____16____ The former brings misery but drives self-improvement and emulation (效仿). Malicious envy, however, leads to harm, like hostile thoughts. Benign envy comes when you think others deserve admiration; malicious envy when you don’t. That’s why you might envy a war hero but not wish him ill, yet enjoy a Hollywood actor’s failed marriage.
Envy — especially malicious — is harmful. Neuroscientists find it activates the brain’s anterior cingulate cortex, linked to physical and mental pain. A 2018 Social Science & Medicine study of 18,000 people found envy predicts worse future mental health. It even stops the natural trend of better mental health with age. ____17____
Different people envy different things. I don’t care about others’ fancy boats, but envy men my age with full hair. Scholars note patterns: young people envy education, looks or romance; older people envy money. ____18____ Studies show men envy social status most, women physical attractiveness. Both envy others’ romantic success second.
Envy needs exposure to “luckier” people. Social media worsens this — strangers show only admirable and enviable lives. Social media plays an important role in fueling envy. ____19____ Experiments prove passive social media use lowers well-being via more envy.
It is impossible to end envy. ____20____ Next time envy hits, think of loved ones or your own good fortune.
A. However, gratitude helps.
B Academics call this “Facebook envy”.
C. And it doesn’t bring economic success.
D. Envy often causes fights between people.
E. Women are more likely to show envy than men.
F. Men and women tend to envy different qualities.
G. Scholars categorize envy into benign and malicious envy.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. F 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍嫉妒分良性与恶意,恶意嫉妒危害身心,不同人群、社交媒体会影响嫉妒,消除嫉妒不可能,感恩可应对。
【16题详解】
根据后文“The former brings misery but drives self-improvement and emulation (效仿). Malicious envy, however, leads to harm, like hostile thoughts. Benign envy comes when you think others deserve admiration; malicious envy when you don’t. That’s why you might envy a war hero but not wish him ill, yet enjoy a Hollywood actor’s failed marriage.(前者会带来痛苦,但能促使自我提升和效仿。然而,恶意的嫉妒会带来伤害,就像充满敌意的想法一样。而善意的嫉妒则是在你认为他人值得赞赏时产生;而恶意的嫉妒则是在你认为他人不值得赞赏时产生。这就是为什么你可能会羡慕一位战功卓著的英雄,但不会希望他遭遇不幸,却会欣赏一位好莱坞演员的失败婚姻)”可知,空后明确提到“前者(The former)”和“恶意嫉妒(Malicious envy)”,说明此处需要先对嫉妒进行分类。选项G“学者将嫉妒分为良性嫉妒和恶意嫉妒”,刚好对应后文的两类嫉妒,起到引出下文的作用。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Envy — especially malicious — is harmful. Neuroscientists find it activates the brain’s anterior cingulate cortex, linked to physical and mental pain. A 2018 Social Science & Medicine study of 18,000 people found envy predicts worse future mental health. It even stops the natural trend of better mental health with age.(嫉妒——尤其是恶意的嫉妒——是有害的。神经科学家发现,嫉妒会激活大脑的前扣带皮层,该区域与身体和精神上的疼痛有关。2018年一项针对18000人的社会科学与医学研究发现,嫉妒预示着未来更糟糕的心理健康状况。它甚至会打破随着年龄增长而自然出现的更好的心理健康趋势)”可知,本段核心讲嫉妒(尤其恶意嫉妒)的危害,前文提到损害心理健康、阻碍心理健康随年龄改善,选项C“而且它也不会带来经济成功”,承接前文的“危害”,补充了嫉妒的另一负面影响,逻辑连贯。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Studies show men envy social status most, women physical attractiveness. Both envy others’ romantic success second.(研究表明,男性最嫉妒的是社会地位,而女性则最嫉妒的是外在的美貌。两者都嫉妒他人在感情方面的成功)”可知,空后明确对比了男性和女性嫉妒的侧重点(男性最嫉妒社会地位,女性最嫉妒外貌),选项F“男性和女性往往嫉妒不同的特质”,作为段落过渡句,刚好引出后文的性别差异分析。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Envy needs exposure to “luckier” people. Social media worsens this — strangers show only admirable and enviable lives. Social media plays an important role in fueling envy.(嫉妒需要与“更幸运的人”接触。而社交媒体则加剧了这一现象——陌生人所展示的都是令人钦佩和羡慕的生活状态。社交媒体在助长嫉妒情绪方面起到了重要作用)”可知,前文提到社交媒体加剧嫉妒,选项B“学者称之为‘脸书嫉妒’”,用具体术语指代前文 “社交媒体引发的嫉妒”,且“Facebook”是社交媒体的典型代表,符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“It is impossible to end envy.(无法消除嫉妒心理)”以及后文“Next time envy hits, think of loved ones or your own good fortune.(下次再有嫉妒情绪时,就想想所爱的人或者自己所拥有的美好事物吧)”可知,前文说“消除嫉妒是不可能的”,空后给出了应对嫉妒的方法(想到爱人或自己的好运),由此可知,空处表示的是嫉妒的危害;结合选项可知,选项D.Envy often causes fights between people.(嫉妒往往引发人与人之间的争斗。)承上启下,符合题意。故选D。
第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)

47. 阅读下列文章,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mrs. Anderson, an old lady, had lived in this neighborhood alone after her child flew the nest, suffering the feeling of isolation and insecurity. And the old house next door to her had been empty for years, its door and windows dusty. One day, she was gazing at her beloved garden from her window when a moving truck pulled up, catching her eye.
A young woman stepped out of the truck. She looked tired and overwhelmed, carrying a heavy backpack and guiding two little kids towards the unfamiliar house. Mrs. Anderson felt a pang of sympathy. Without a second thought, she stood up, smoothed her apron (围裙), and walked out. “Hello there! Welcome to the neighborhood,” she said with a warm smile. “I’m Clara Anderson. Need any help?”
The young woman looked up, surprise and relief washing over her face. “Oh, thank you! That would be wonderful. I’m Sarah, and these are my kids, Lily and Leo. It’s been… a bit of a day.” Mrs. Anderson offered to watch the children for an hour so Sarah could unpack in peace, for the old lady knew all too well what it was like to be alone.
Mrs. Anderson didn’t just help for that afternoon. She brought over homemade biscuits the next day, accompanied by some lovely flowers from her garden. “These flowers are so beautiful, Mrs. Anderson,” Sarah exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as she caught sight of the vibrant colors. Mrs. Anderson smiled warmly. “Thank you, dear. They are what I care most about every day. I believe life blooms when you put in the care, day after day.”

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Weeks passed, and the two families formed an unexpected bond. Sarah often invited Mrs. Anderson for dinner, and the children loved listening to her stories. In return, Mrs. Anderson taught Sarah gardening secrets. One rainy afternoon, Sarah noticed Mrs. Anderson struggling to fix a leaky roof. “Let me help!” Sarah insisted, fetching tools. Together they patched the roof, sharing laughter over tea afterward. The children drew Mrs. Anderson a “World’s Best Neighbor” card, which brought tears to her eyes. One day, Mrs. Anderson made an appointment to get together again the next day.
Sarah came to the garden as promised but Mrs. Anderson didn’t appear. Worried, Sarah knocked on her door. No answer. She peered through the window and saw Mrs. Anderson lying weakly on the sofa. Sarah immediately called an ambulance. At the hospital, the doctor confirmed it was pneumonia. Sarah stayed by her side, holding her hand. “You cared for us,” she whispered. “Now let us care for you.” Mrs. Anderson smiled faintly, realizing her garden wasn’t the only thing blooming — their friendship had blossomed too.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Mrs. Anderson是一位独居老人,因子女离家而感到孤独。隔壁的老房子空置多年。 新邻居Sarah带着两个孩子搬进隔壁,Mrs. Anderson主动提供帮助,并建立了初步联系。Mrs. Anderson持续帮助Sarah一家,分享自制饼干和花园里的花,传递“生活需要用心照料”的理念。

②由第二段首句内容“Sarah如约来到花园,但Mrs. Anderson却没有出现。”可知,第二段可描写Sarah发现Mrs.Anderson未赴约,担心她的健康状况,主动去她家查看。

Wang Zuxian, the 58-year-old Hong Kong actress who rose to fame across Asia for her role as “Xiao Qian” in the classic film A Chinese Ghost Story, has recently attracted the public in a whole new way. Now living in Vancouver, Canada, she has opened a moxibustion (艾灸) clinic that brings Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to an international audience. Since its opening this February, the clinic — offering acupuncture, cupping, and other traditional therapies — has attracted fans from near and far. Many come not only to experience TCM treatments but also to catch a glimpse of the timeless star behind the scenes.
Recently, TV host Christopher Downs (Xia Keli) visited the clinic and shared a video online, showing Wang personally examining him and arranging a full treatment session. Wearing a simple blue T-shirt, a green apron(围裙), and a mask that couldn’t hide her gentle eyes and professional manner, she carefully went through Downs’ health report. Her tone was calm and friendly, as if talking to an old friend. She then personally performed cupping and acupuncture. What moved him most was that Wang even remembered his TV shows in Taiwan. Their warm conversation erased any distance between celebrity and fan. “She has no airs at all,” Downs marveled. “She’s still that elegant Xiao Qian I remember.”
Though TCM is not mainstream in Western countries, Wang’s clinic has become a cultural bridge. In addition to providing acupuncture and cupping, she gives personalized health advice and shares wellness knowledge rooted in Chinese tradition. Appointments have been fully booked months in advance. Her clients include not only Chinese fans but also many local Canadians curious about TCM. Downs revealed that Wang studied TCM and obtained professional certification before opening the clinic. Netizens commented enthusiastically: “This isn’t a celebrity comeback — it’s cultural heritage in action.” Some hope she will expand her clinic to other countries, allowing TCM to reach more people; others express admiration, saying: “This is true cultural confidence — using her influence to let the world see Chinese wisdom.”
4. Which one is a special reason for the clinic’s popularity?
A. It offers extra access to an actress.
B. It is located in a famous tourist area.
C It shows the latest medical technology.
D. It provides professional health check-ups.
5. What touched Christopher Downs most during his visit to the clinic?
A. Wang promised to return to acting soon.
B. Wang had an impression of his TV shows.
C. Wang performed cupping and acupuncture well.
D. Wang brought TCM to an international audience.
6. Why are netizens’ comments mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To explain the reasons behind Wang’s career change.
B. To emphasize the commercial success of Wang’s clinic.
C. To highlight the cultural significance of Wang’s actions.
D. To contrast Western with Traditional Chinese Medicine.
7. What does Christopher Downs think of Wang Zuxian?
A. Greedy but easy-going. B. Picky but warm-hearted.
C. Confident and well-behaved. D. Professional and down-to-earth.
C
Artificial intelligence can take down more than routine emails. It has now written tiny working genomes (基因组). Researchers report in a paper posted to bioRxiv.org., two AI models designed the blueprints for 16 viruses capable of attacking Escherichia coli (大肠杆菌) in lab dishes.
Given that AI models have already been used to design individual genes and proteins, Brian Hie, a computational biologist at Stanford University and the Arc Institute in Palo Alto, Calif. turned to their own AI models, called Evo 1 and Evo 2, to see if they could create genomes for bacteria-killing viruses. The models were trained on billions of pairs of the genetic alphabet’s basic units, A, C, G and T’s, from phage genomes the way ChatGPT was trained on novels and Internet posts. The team used a phage (噬菌体) called ΦX174—which in 1977 became the first DNA-based genome ever sequenced—as a guide to help the AI design a similar genome.
Evo 1 and Evo 2 generated roughly 300 potential phage genomes. Of those, 16 produced viable viruses. Some of the phages even killed E. coli more quickly than ΦX174 did. And although ΦX174 couldn’t kill phage-resistant E. coli on its own, mixture of AI-generated phages rapidly evolved to overcome the bacteria’s resistance to infection. The findings suggest that AI could help researchers develop viruses to use in phage therapy, a potential option to treat microbial (微生物的) infections.
Scientists are still debating whether viruses are alive or not. “While there’s a lot of work to go, using AI to design living organisms is a step forward”, says Kimberly Davis, a microbiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who wasn’t involved in the work. “It is very likely to be used in the microbial manufacturing processes such as cultivating microbes that degrade plastic.”
8. What can be inferred about Evo 1 and Evo 2 in paragraph 2?

What if your friends are going through life-or-death situations in the family? Social exchange theory would suggest that you’d better drop them because they’re not providing as many benefits to you as they could. Different from the exchange-based relationship, real-life experiences with these situations might be the opposite: These are the times when many people are most likely to support their friends.
A recent research backs this up. “When surveyed about what they want in a friend, people didn’t place a high value on paying back any debts — something highly valued from a social exchange perspective”. “Instead, they considered other traits — such as loyalty, reliability and being there in times of need — to be much more important”, Charlie Kirk, leader of the investigation added. The essence of friendship may be what is called risk-pooling where our ancient ancestors support each other to survive life challenges.
According to the survey by The Human Generosity Project, a cross-disciplinary research collaboration, this kind of friendship can still be found across societies, from “kere kere” in Fiji to “tomor marang” among the Ik in Uganda. Similarly, the Maasai, a native group in Kenya and Tanzania who rely on cattle herds to make their living, cultivate friends who help them when they are in need, with no expectation about paying each other back. Just like the “neighboring” network rooted in southern Arizona and New Mexico, farmers help their neighbors with unpredictable challenges such as an accident, injury or illness.
“What all these findings suggest is that friendship is less about the exchange of favors and more about being there for each other when unforeseeable disaster strikes. Friendship seems more like an insurance plan designed to kick in when you need it most rather than a system of balanced exchange”, says Charlie.
In a world of growing uncertainty, cultivating risk-pooling friendships and striving to be a good partner yourself may help you build resilience. Our ancestors survived with the help of this kind of relationship; our future may depend on them too.
12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By defining a concept. B. By making a comparison.
C. By analyzing reasons. D. By giving examples.
13. Which may be valued according to social exchange theory?
A. A good grasp of maths. B. A timely period of company.
C. Balanced cost and benefit. D. Distinguished survival skills.
14. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The cases of risk-pooling friendship. B. The reasons for risk-pooling friendship.
C. The mechanism of exchange-based friendship. D. The possible logic of exchange-based relationship.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward Charlie Kirk’s research findings?
A. Dismissive. B. Approving. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.

阅读下列文章,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When we fall behind others or perform less well in areas we care about, a feeling of envy arises. Envy has always been a part of human experience.
____16____ The former brings misery but drives self-improvement and emulation (效仿). Malicious envy however, leads to harm, like hostile thoughts. Benign envy comes when you think others deserve admiration; malicious envy when you don’t. That’s why you might envy a war hero but not wish him ill, yet enjoy a Hollywood actor’s failed marriage.
Envy — especially malicious — is harmful. Neuroscientists find it activates the brain’s anterior cingulate cortex, linked to physical and mental pain. A 2018 Social Science & Medicine study of 18,000 people found envy predicts worse future mental health. It even stops the natural trend of better mental health with age. ____17____
Different people envy different things. I don’t care about others’ fancy boats, but envy men my age with full hair. Scholars note patterns: young people envy education, looks or romance; older people envy money. ____18____ Studies show men envy social status most, women physical attractiveness. Both envy others’ romantic success second.
Envy needs exposure to “luckier” people. Social media worsens this — strangers show only admirable and enviable lives. Social media plays an important role in fueling envy. ____19____ Experiments prove passive social media use lowers well-being via more envy.
It is impossible to end envy. ____20____ Next time envy hits, think of loved ones or your own good fortune.
A. However, gratitude helps.
B. Academics call this “Facebook envy”.
C. And it doesn’t bring economic success.
D. Envy often causes fights between people.
E. Women are more likely to show envy than men.
F. Men and women tend to envy different qualities.
G. Scholars categorize envy into benign and malicious envy.

47. 阅读下列文章,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mrs. Anderson, an old lady, had lived in this neighborhood alone after her child flew the nest, suffering the feeling of isolation and insecurity. And the old house next door to her had been empty for years, its door and windows dusty. One day, she was gazing at her beloved garden from her window when a moving truck pulled up, catching her eye.
A young woman stepped out of the truck. She looked tired and overwhelmed, carrying a heavy backpack and guiding two little kids towards the unfamiliar house. Mrs. Anderson felt a pang of sympathy. Without a second thought, she stood up, smoothed her apron (围裙), and walked out. “Hello there! Welcome to the neighborhood,” she said with a warm smile. “I’m Clara Anderson. Need any help?”
The young woman looked up, surprise and relief washing over her face. “Oh, thank you! That would be wonderful. I’m Sarah, and these are my kids, Lily and Leo. It’s been… a bit of a day.” Mrs. Anderson offered to watch the children for an hour so Sarah could unpack in peace, for the old lady knew all too well what it was like to be alone.
Mrs. Anderson didn’t just help for that afternoon. She brought over homemade biscuits the next day, accompanied by some lovely flowers from her garden. “These flowers are so beautiful, Mrs. Anderson,” Sarah exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as she caught sight of the vibrant colors. Mrs. Anderson smiled warmly. “Thank you, dear. They are what I care most about every day. I believe life blooms when you put in the care, day after day.”
